Rapture Ready makes me piss my pants with anger and laughter:

Rapturists connive to hand out their asinine "tracts" with candy this year on Halloween...

I need some good ideas on what to pass out this year.

My DH and I have spent years sticking our heads in the sand over this event and its only in the last year we are finally listening to the Lords nudging us. So instead of passing out just candy and letting our own kids go out beggin for treats, we want to do something in the way of witnessing.
We decided to pass out tracts with the candy.
So I've been searching and am flat out overwhelmed with the assortment to choose from

I need suggestions for good one specifically aimed at todays kids, and I would think something specific to halloween and the attraction to the occult since its become so popular.

Suggestions?


:rofl:

:wtf:

:grr:

:rofl:

I hope they realize that Halloween is entirely "occultist" in nature. Ever heard of Samhain, fools?

:eyes:

:D

7. Check out the new Halloween Chick Track
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1032/1032_01.asp?wpc=1032_01.asp&wpp=a

If I found out my kid was going to public school getting prothelized by their teacher, I'd be raising holy hell (and if kids wanted to kill my cat I'd kick their butts too)

I find irony in the Halloween Chick Tracks. The one listed below, lil Susy didn't want to dress up in a halloween costume because of the evil surrounding it. So instead she wears a Santa Claus costume? Seriously that's about as secular as halloween

10. Proselytizing literature evangelists of all stripes pass out.
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 04:28 PM by WritingIsMyReligion
Annoying as hell, especially when people really push it on you. Fundies are notorious for "countering" the "occult" of Halloween by passing out these tracts, sometimes along with candy, sometimes just by themselves.

Haven't you seen those little "booklets" calling you to "take a chance with Jesus" or something equally dumb?
